Claire finishes Kindergarten...

Claire was naturally THRILLED when it was Western Day at school.

For her final kindergarten project, the kids did a big report on their favorite animal. Claire chose a course (shocking). Her report was adorable... and the thing is, she really knows all of this stuff. She is currently in horse camp, thanks to an awesome birthday present from Grandma Tam last January, and she mucks stalls without complaining and is learning every aspect of horse care, maintenance, safety and riding. The instructors say she has so much confidence, never complains and always volunteers for things. I am so happy she has found something she loves so much, and that we have another horse woman in the family to recognize this and facilitate its development: Grandma Tam.

Her report - she did the ENTIRE thing herself.

Last day of school with her darling little friend Karli.

Later, Kindergarten! Riding off into the sunset of First Grade.
